TO MY DEAR FRIEND, 

LADY RICHARDSON, 

AT WHOSE SUGGESTION 
THE WORK WAS UNDERTAKEN. 



PREFACE. 



What ! Shakespeare again? Yes. for however often 
fine gold be moulded, fashioned, or coined, yet is 
it fine gold still — and, therefore, ever valuable. 

The toil of the miner brings the precious metal 
to light. There are large lumps lying imbedded, 
and there is the small sparkling gold-dust which 
has to be washed from the rubbish with which it 
is so intimately mingled. The plan of the following 
book of extracts was suggested by a lady, who had 
spent the greater part of a morning in looking for 
some special passage. The book is a sort of con- 
cordance of two lines or more of even- line passage, 
moral sentiment, witty saying, and beautiful poetry. 
An alphabetical index is placed at the end of each 
play, so that any one requiring to find special pas- 
sages, or suitable mottoes for the heading of chapters, 



Vlll PREFACE. 

or for quotation in speeches, etc., may easily find 
them at once. Few are the subjects which " the 
myriad minded man" has not touched upon, and 
well may his own elegant simile be applied to him- 
self,— " Thy mind is a very opal." 



Coniston, March 31st, 1870.

Act I. — Scene i. 

" In sooth I know not why I am so sad ; 
It wearies me \ you say it wearies you," etc 



" I should be still 
Plucking the grass, to know where sits the wind." 

" I hold the world, but as the world — 
A stage where every man must play a part" 



" Why should a man whose blood is warm within, 
Sit like his grandsire, cut in alabaster?" etc. 



" His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in

two bushels of chaff : you shall seek all day ere you 
find them ; and when you have them, they are not 
worth the search." 



" Shall I bend low, and in a bondman's key, 
With bated breath ?" etc. 



" In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft, 
I shot his fellow of the self-same flight, 
The self-same way," etc. 



" Her sunny locks 
Hung on her temples, like a golden fleece." 



Scene 2. 

"And yet, for aught I see, they are as sick that 
surfeit with too much, as they that starve with nothing. 
It is no mean happiness,, then, to be seated in the 
mean." 



"It is a good divine that follows his own instruc- 
tions. I can easier teach," etc. 



" The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. 
An evil soul, producing holy witness, 
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, 
A goodly apple," etc. 



THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. 

Act II. — Scene 2. 



" Truth will come to light ; 
Murder cannot be hid long/

Scene 9. 

" Let none presume 
To wear an undeserved dignity ; 
O that estates, degrees, and offices 
Were not derived corruptly ! " etc. 



4 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. 

" Thus hath the candle singed the moth." 



" A day in April never came so sweet, 
To show how costly summer was at hand." 



Act III. — Scene i. 



"Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, 
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions ?" etc. 



Scene 2. 

" Tell me, where is fancy bred, 
Or in the heart, or in the head ? " 



" The world is still deceiv'd with ornament : 
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt ? 
But being," etc., etc. 



" You see me, Lord Bassanio, where I stand, 
Such as I am," etc., etc. 



Scene 4. 
" I never did repent for doing good." 



THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. 5 

Act IV. — Scene i. 

11 The quality of mercy is not strain'd, 
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven," etc., etc.

When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees."

Stood Dido, with a willow in her hand, 
Upon the wild sea banks." 



" How sweet the moonlight shines upon this bank !" 
etc., etc., to the end. 



" I am never merry when I hear sweet music. 
The reason is, your spirits are attentive," etc. 



" How far that little candle throws his beams ! 
So shines a good deed in a naughty world." 



" When the moon shone, we did not see the candle." 



6 THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. 

" The nightingale, if she should sing by day, 
When every goose is cackling, would be thought 
No better a musician than the wren.''"

The stomach of my sense." 



" I saw him beat the surges under him, 
And ride upon their backs. He trod the water," etc. 



" The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness, 
And time to speak it in ; you rub the sore, 
When you should bring the plaster."

Would with themselves shut up my thoughts." 



" Pr'ythee say on : 
The setting of thine eye and cheek proclaim

From eaves of reeds."

quick, 
Yet with my nobler reason, 'gainst my fury 
Do I take part." 



" Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves, 
And ye that on the sands with printless foot," etc.

Melting the darkness." 



" The approaching tide 
Will shortly fill the reasonable shores, 
That now lie foul and muddy." 



" Where the bee sucks, there suck I." 



" How sharp the point of this remembrance is !" 



" No more yet of this ; 
For 'tis a chronicle of day by day, 
Not a relation for a breakfast." 



" Let lis not burden our remembrances 
With a heaviness that's gone." 



Epilogue. 

" And my ending is despair, 
Unless I be reliev'd by prayer ; 
Which pierces so, that it assaults 
Mercy itself, and frees all faults."
